The rise in the number of tools available for creating and running AI content has lowered the barrier of entry and offered the flexibility of choice when choosing the appropriate solution for a given use case. However, one such challenge that has emerged, especially in the AI model management space, is that there is often a tight coupling between the tool and how it manages models – potentially limiting the flexibility to move between frameworks or distribute the content more broadly. These concerns are one of the primary areas of focus for the ModelPack project.
The Challenge of AI Model Management
For a single user working solely on their local machine, the importance of having to think about how to manage models may not be top of mind. However, as we have seen previously with containers, individuals are typically not isolated to just their content. They will either want or need to leverage assets that have been produced by others or be able to distribute their work so that it does not solely reside on their local machine. How this is facilitated depends primarily on the tool or framework that is being used. Some of the common options include:
